BXBX NOVEL Chapter 879 - 877: The Truth Revealed
Qin Rulie had his men block him, then they brought Su Yingxue into the imperial palace, saying they were going to kill Su Yingxue in front of Shen Yu to put her at ease.
When Shen Yu saw Su Yingxue, her head covered with a black cloth and still struggling desperately, a mocking curve formed on her lips, “Su Yingxue, you too have reached this day, yet you’re still going to die before me!”
She remembered when she first encountered Su Yingxue in the street.
She was dressed in shabby clothes while Su Yingxue was resplendent and noble, like a fairy from the heavens. Even though she saved her father and gave her money, she refused to help her any further!
She knew very well that her family was poor; she said she was fated due to their likeness, yet she stubbornly refused to see her again or offer her some wealth and honor!
If only on that day outside the Marquis’s Manor she had been a little kinder to her, treated her like a sister.
She would not have needed to come and compete with her for the identity of the princess, nor would she have thought of putting her to death.
This was all the karma Su Yingxue had brought on herself!
Shen Yu was elated, feeling no shame for her actions.
The Empress Dowager stood in the courtyard, her eyes sharp as daggers, “Come, make your move, kill this person, to appease my Zheng Er’s spirit in heaven!”
Qin Ge watched the scene unfold before him, feeling somewhat reluctant, “Mother, after all, Su Yingxue is the Ninth Princess Consort. If Chu Yihan knew we killed her, I fear it might provoke a war between the two nations.”
It was one thing for Su Yingxue to die, but Chu Yihan was not someone to be trifled with.
His reputation as the God of War of the nine provinces was known to all.
But the Empress Dowager was exceptionally resolute, “The men of the Great Wei Dynasty are brave and skilled in battle; why would we be afraid of Chu Yihan! Come, make your move!”
There, Su Yingxue, gripped by the executioner, continued to struggle, unable to make a sound.
The executioner sprayed white liquor on the blade, raised his hand, and the blade fell.
“Puchi—”
Blood splattered everywhere.
Su Yingxue’s head severed from her body, her brain exploding outwards.
Mu Fei was also in the Funing Palace, witnessing this scene with his own eyes.
At the moment of Su Yingxue’s death, the blood splashed onto his face, and his heart was exceptionally pleased; he couldn’t help but burst out laughing loudly, “Haha, hahahaha, hahahahaha…”
His laughter was so loud that it drew everyone’s attention.
Shen Yu, finding Mu Fei’s behavior strange, scolded him, “What are you laughing at! In front of the imperial grandmother, you shall not be unrestrained!”
She thought to herself, what madness had Mu Fei succumbed to this time!
She knew he was not normal, but she hadn’t expected him to be this abnormal!
Even if he was happy about Su Yingxue’s death, he should be quietly pleased, not laughing out loud before everyone.
Especially since the Empress Dowager’s narrowed eyes were now fixed on him, “Mu Fei, you lowly commoner, dare to be so impudent in front of me!”
Mu Fei wiped away the tears of laughter from his eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager with a mocking stature, “Why shouldn’t I dare be impudent? You old coot, I’ve long wanted to laugh at you! Now, I can do so openly and honorably!”
“Impudence! Someone capture him for me!”
Qin Ge bellowed, “Bold ruffian, my mother holds such a revered status; how dare you insult her so!”
“Revered? Just an old hag who killed her own granddaughter; what is there to revere? Is it because she’s going blind or perhaps she’s lost her brain?”
Mu Fei brandished his fan arrogantly, his delicate face growing increasingly inscrutable and bewitching.
“Mu Fei, you…you must stop speaking nonsense!” Shen Yu was startled by Mu Fei; had he gone mad?
How could he say such things in public!
This was outright exposing her true identity!
